IrelanG's Police Expenses.

LONDON. Aug. 29.-In the House of Commons,
this evening. a motion to grant f762. .3l5 for
the purpose of completing the credit for the Irish
police service, Mr.. Dillon protested against the
constant increase of the expenses of the
police in Ireland. Although the population
had decreased 100000 since $780, the
cost of the police service had increased over
ESQ, ,000 A monstrous and corrupt police force
was kept up to evade the provisions of the mu-
tiny act by maintaining larger military force
than sanctioned by Parliament. The law
not enforced. and rents were rot collected,
aud the only effect of employing the police was
to create widespread disafTection and TO exasper-
ate the people.
Mr.. Balfour Chief Secretary for Ireland, said
he would not deny that The cost of the police
force of Ireland was largely in excess of that
of En- gland. He asserted that the responsible
ty for this state of affairs rested on those who
were doing their best TO foment dlsconIent in
Ireland.
Mr. Sexton said that he believed that Ireland
was the only country in the world where. with
steadily decreasing population. there existed
steadily increasing police force to overawe the
people.
